Take some time off, travel, and then come back to invest your gains to match your desires and lifestyle. 

This shift is a healthy slowing down from record-breaking low inventory and high demand.

You then have to decide what fits your investing style and lifestyle more, you could sell and use the money to brrrr, or buy a turnkey investment or you can keep it and use the cashflow for other things.

I recently left my full-time day job to fully commit to being a real estate agent, but I just learned from my lender that despite being in a very healthy financial position, I am not eligible for traditional financing since I need 2 years of income-- which I unfortunately don't have now that I left my day job.Do you all have recommendations for how I can access financing?

The actual image needs a citation, I did a reverse Google image search and found several sites posting it but it is unclear who actually made this picture.All of the other stuff I totally agree with - having cash, healthy credit, strong financials, knowing your goals, etc - all great

Seems like this project is more of life-style business.   

I have plenty of time in my lifestyle to do what I enjoy most, exposing and capitalizing on realestate opportunities.

So, for example if you wanted to raise the rent $50 or $75 which is a healthy increase at that price point, I would give them at least 60 days.

Phoenix is hot so it'll appreciate at a healthy rate.

You're not likely to regret having healthy reserves built up over time.
